The
Card Game
In
the Pokémon trading card game, one of
your goals is to collect each of the cards,
similar to your goal of collecting each of the
Pokémon in the Game Boy game. But not all Pokémon
cards are as easy to catch as others. The
Energy cards are the most basic and most common
kind of cards. Your Pokémon cards, Evolution
cards, and Trainer cards come in four different
varieties: common cards are marked in the bottom
right-hand corner with a . Uncommon cards are
marked with a , and rare cards are marked with a
.In addition, some rare cards are printed
using holographic foil. These "holo"
cards are the hardest to catch and collect. In
addition,
a limited quantity of each set of Pokémon
cards is printed with the symbol, which shows
that those cards are first-edition cards from
that set. The same cards may be reprinted
in the future but never with the symbol, ensuring
that your first-edition cards will maintain
their value!
If
you're mostly interested in playing, there are
always good cards appearing in all levels
of commonality. (Many of the most popular
Pokémon - such as Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle
, and Bulbasaur - are common cards.) This ensures
that players who buy different amounts of
cards can still play and have a fun and fair
game.
For
Pokémon strategy, deckbuilding, and
trading tips, be sure to read the Duelist, one of
the
leading trading card magazines. You can find the
Duelist at most larger newsstands.
